Chapter 536: The More He Talks, the More Evil He Becomes, and Another Person...
"Thank you so much, Mr. Wen San. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to deal with it for a while!" Shao Yanru said softly.
Wen Xichi picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip, then put down his hand and said with a smile: "Miss Shao, there is no need to be so polite. These trivial matters are not important. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany the two ladies!"
He stood up and wanted to leave.
Shao Yanru and Shao Wanru stood up together to see each other off.
Wen Xichi bowed his hands to the two of them and left gracefully. Since the things here were different from those investigated by the Criminal Department, there was no need for him to be here.
When he turned around, his eyes slid across the veil under Shao Wanru's hat, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile, light and elegant.
Seeing him leave, the two of them sat down again. Shao Yanru said at this time: "Just now, this is the third young master of the Wen Dynasty. He won the same prize as the first prince of Qi, but he was the number one scholar. I heard that he was riding a horse on the street that day, and everyone was moved. , all the ladies dropped sachets along the way, and now he is actually working in the Ministry of Punishments, his future is limitless!"
"He is indeed a powerful person!" Shao Wanru said lightly, looking uninterested.
Watery eyes fell on Shao Yanru's face. He didn't introduce him when he was here just now, but when he left, he seemed to be eager to introduce him.
Shuqi neatly packed up the tea cup that Wen Xichi had just used, and said with a smile: "The young masters in Wen's family and the young masters and young ladies in our family grew up together when they were young. When we were young, the third master Wen She is someone who can take care of others, but the eldest lady has just become a little more mature!"
"Now that he has grown up, he is no longer a child!" Shao Yanru said with a sigh, "Now he is an official of the Ministry of Punishment. I am afraid that he will have to catch up with his father in his future career, but he did not expect to be here. See him."
The top scholar in the spotlight, the young official of the Ministry of Justice, and the good family background all indicate that his future is bright. Of course, this future is not the focus of Shao Yanru's attention. The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Wen Xichi is in charge now. This piece was just right to scare Shao Wanru.
No matter how long Princess Ruian's hands are, she cannot formally interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Justice.
It's an unexpected surprise to have Wen Xichi here. The two families have contacts. If I have anything to do, I can ask Wen Xichi to help me privately. There is always the friendship from my childhood. Compared with Shao, who doesn't know anyone. It's like he has become much stronger in terms of connections.
Compared to asking Qiu Yu to help and then having to push him away afterwards, Wen Xichi was simple, convenient, and much safer.
Shao Wanru didn't respond, just nodded, picked up the teacup and slightly lifted the gauze curtain to take a sip, then put it down, and then looked at the two women running over, each holding a bracelet in their hands. He pointed at it with his fingers, and it seemed as if there were still big stains on it, but in fact it had just been washed in the water.
"Miss, these pair of bracelets belong to the fifth lady!" a woman said, about to present the bracelets to the stone table.
"Don't put it down yet, don't put it down, you dare to put such evil things in front of our young lady." Shuqi screamed loudly, shook the handkerchief in front of him a few times, turned his head, as if just like this Taking a quick look, it looked like he was soaked in evil things.
The two women were so frightened that they let go of their hands, and a pair of bracelets fell to the ground together.
"Whose bracelet is this?" Shao Yanru also took a handkerchief and gently covered his nose and asked.
"Yes...it belongs to the fifth lady. I just saw it, and it has the name of the fifth lady!" A woman stammered. She didn't think anything about it before, but when she saw the eldest lady and Shuqi, she suddenly felt this It's really a very evil thing. If I just take it like this, will I be possessed by it?
"My bracelet?" Shao Wanru smiled lightly.
"Yes, yes, it belongs to Miss Fifth. All the servants just looked at it." Although the other woman was scared, she said boldly at this time.
Shao Wanru's dark eyes fell on the bracelet that fell to the ground. Coincidentally, the end with the word fell into his eyes. It was indeed the word "Ru".
"This is my bracelet. I've never worn it before. Why does it look like this?" Shao Wanru's eyes were dark.
"I don't know what happened. How did a good bracelet become like this? When I came here before, I saw these pairs of bracelets. Every pair is good. They were kept by my grandmother. Why is it like this?" Shao Yanru also said with a surprised look on his face.
"Go dig for other bracelets and see if they look like this?"
After thinking for a while, she ordered again.
"Yes, slaves, go dig it right away!" The two women looked at the bracelets that fell on the ground. No one dared to stay here. After hearing what Shao Yanru said, they stood up and ran out in a hurry. They were not willing to stay. Staying here with such an evil bracelet.
The pavilion became quiet again, the bracelet still fell there, no one sent anyone to pick it up, and there was no more conversation between the two of them. They both seemed to feel heavy and in no mood to talk.
After a while, the bracelets of several other people were dug out, and there was nothing wrong with each pair. There was no such evil thing as the previous bracelets.
People in the main hall have begun to secretly spread rumors, saying that Miss Shao Wu's bracelet is very evil and that it is possessed by evil spirits. Otherwise, if the bracelet is so good, why others are fine, something is wrong with her. Otherwise, there is something wrong with the bracelet.
"Fifth sister, can we ask the master of Yuhui Temple?" Shao Yanru looked at the pairs of bracelets in front of her, then looked at the pair of bracelets that fell on the ground, and spoke helplessly.
"Ask Master Pushan?" Shao Wanru said softly, which naturally meant he agreed.
"Master Pushan likes Qingxiu too much, so I'd better not trouble her and go find Master Puming. Master Puming takes charge of matters related to this in Yuhui Nunnery!"
Shao Yanru shook his head and said.
"Then go ask Master Puming!" Shao Wanru nodded and stood up.
Master Puming is also from the Pu family in Yuhui Nunnery, and she is also a person of good seniority in Yuhui Nunnery. Although she is not conspicuous among the other masters, she is not as prominent as Master Pushan and Master Puyu. But she is also a senior and famous master. Shao Wanru has also heard of her reputation in Yuhui Nunnery.
"Pick up the bracelet!" Shao Yanru ordered Shu Qi.
"Miss...slave...slave, I'm afraid..." Shuqi knelt down with a plop, and said with a pale and frightened face, "Why...should the two women bring it over?"
Shao Yanru frowned impatiently and said displeasedly, "Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, I'm going to call someone right away!" Shuqi stood up in a hurry, picked up her skirt and went to find the two old women. After walking around in a big circle, he finally found the two women who were also frightened, and then left the old women alone. Use a small branch to carry it to Master Puming.
No one noticed that the little maid Qing'er appeared here at some unknown time and saw the scooped out cakes. While everyone was talking, she carefully picked up some with a handkerchief...
As soon as the two masters left, all the women in the Xingguo Duke's mansion immediately started talking. In order to show that they were knowledgeable, they all said that this thing was an evil thing and very evil.
"Why is this bracelet so evil? How come the other ladies and gentlemen's are fine?" the old woman lowered her voice.
When these words were said, the women around them nodded. They were all rough women. They used to be very convinced by these things. The more they said it, the more reasonable they felt, and the more they said it, the more evil they felt.
There was a woman who was the first to dig out. She felt that her hands and feet were cold, her whole body was shaking, and her lips trembled twice before she found her voice: "You said that I dug out this bracelet. Could it be that... I would Nothing will happen?"
"You are indeed wrong, why do you look so bad?" The woman next to her glanced at her, suddenly took a few steps away from her, and looked at her face in surprise.
"I...I'm not..." The mother-in-law who found the bracelet reached out and covered her chest. She felt her chest was tight and she could hardly breathe. "I...am I possessed by an evil spirit?"
"It's a bit like, old sister-in-law, are you... are you really okay?" Another woman asked with concern, but she was far away from her, as if she was afraid of contracting something bad.
The feeling of tightness in the mother-in-law's chest became stronger and stronger. She covered her chest with her hands, her eyes widened, and she gasped hard. Her feet gave way and she fell heavily on the broken rubble. She felt that the world was spinning in front of her eyes. , tilted his head and fainted.
"What...what...what should I do?" the women screamed.
"Carry people to the pavilion to rest first!" the woman who led the team said loudly.
A few women came over and wanted to lift it, but they didn't dare. They looked at the woman leading the team, and all of them were timid. If they were still a little doubtful before, they were now convinced that there was definitely something wrong with the bracelet, otherwise it would be a disaster. Such a strong person, how could he faint even if he fainted!
"Carry it over first, otherwise something will really happen!" the consul's wife shouted sternly, "If something happens, none of you here will be able to escape!"
After hearing what she said, several women timidly carried the fainted woman into the pavilion.
"Look at her face turning purple. She looks so scary, as if something evil has invaded her!"
"No, she was the best at work in the past. She worked very energetically and had great strength. How could she suddenly faint?"
"This... this is so scary. There are so many ants growing there. It's really uncomfortable to see them."
"There's something wrong with this bracelet, there must be something wrong!"
"But there's nothing wrong with the other bracelets. Why is there something wrong with Miss Fifth's pair of bracelets?"
"There must be something wrong with Miss Fifth..." The result of your words was to infer a problem that no one dared to think about. When the last woman said this, she immediately knew that she had made a mistake and hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover her lips. He looked at the women around him in panic and begged.
"I...I was just talking nonsense, I was talking nonsense."
The other ladies looked at me and I looked at you. Their expressions were a little not so good. They even felt it in their hearts, but they didn’t dare to follow her words at this moment. The lady in charge didn’t have much strength. He scolded: "In the future, if you have a long mind, you are not allowed to say such nonsense. If the fifth lady hears it, I will kill you!"
"Yes, yes, I won't do it again!" The woman who said the wrong thing nodded and bowed.
"Send someone to inform the Madam about this matter. You have to report this kind of thing to the Madam!" the mother-in-law in charge thought for a moment.
"I'm going" "I'm going" "I'm going"...
At this moment, everyone wanted to leave such an evil place, and everyone started fighting over each other...
